yeah...different story now. The target comp numbers ) assume 15% stock growth per year from when it's allocated to you. That model is now broke for the first time in a decade+. How…

It's all about the RSUs. That all kicks in after year 2. If you're a lower level maybe you don't feel it as much. But for a high performing L6+ RSUs typically are -- or at least we…

If your code breaks something, you should fix that code. Who else should? If your system/product/service is down because you have a dependency on something that broke -- well it's …

We are all about junior people making a mistake, but, heaven forbid it's a recruiter and not an engineer (recruiting for an SDE II would be a junior recruiter). It's sort of a dick…

How is Redis different than Hadoop?

AWS uses Slack Internally.

If you have a use case for spinning up nodes fast -- what is the use for nested virtualization? Sounds like that should be containers on any underlying single-virtualized layer?

Who needs nested virtualization when you have bare metal? VM Migration is only for maintenance on GCP -- and customers can't control it, just Google. AWS can hot patch live systems…
